The new Oxon Going Birding service is in the final stages of testing now and we're looking for more people to sign up to test it. The actual Going Birding part for logging sightings is tried and tested and has been used by several other counties for several years but we'd like to test the interaction between Going Birding and the blog as there is some optional automatic blog posting functionality within the service. It's strongly recommended that you read the Help section about how this works before using it for the first time.
Sightings logged on Going Birding will be automatically exported to the OOS database at the end of the month so you may well choose to use this service from now on for getting your sightings into the OOS database.
